#PowerToys – The best Text Extractor utility for #Windows11

#englishpost #microsoftpowertoys #ocr

Hi !

I’m a big fan of Microsoft PowerToys. The new Text Extractor feature, is one of the most useful features ever ! 😀

Let’s take a simple look about how this works. Just capture of a region of the screen, and the text extractor will extract the text from the image and copy the content to the clipboard.

Super cool ! The main shortcut is [WIN + SHIFT + T], however in the PowerToys settings you can change this, and also, enable or disable this feature!

I’m saying goodbye to the old days, when I paste the image on OneNote to get the text from there!

Happy coding!

Greetings
